During evening military training, the intensity was far lower than during the day, and there was no need to be exposed to the sun. Everyone stood at attention, enjoying the cool night breeze, and surprisingly, they felt a little comfortable.

So in the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock, and Instructor Liu announced the dismissal on time, marking the completion of all training for the first day of military training.

Wang Xu followed Lin Chuan out, twisting his aching shoulders and complaining, "I'm so tired, I feel like my body doesn't belong to me anymore."

"Don't rush, this is just the beginning," Lin Chuan said.

"I'm feeling down," Wang Xu sighed. "By the way, why did you keep running to other classes' lines while you were resting?"

"Something came up."

"What's up? Did you take a fancy to a girl from another class?" Wang Xu grinned lewdly, but then he thought for a moment, "That doesn't make sense, does it? Logically speaking, what girl in the first year of high school is prettier than Chen? I feel like there isn't one in the entire school."

"You're overthinking it. As the class monitor," Lin Chuan said calmly, "I'm here to promote relationships and economic development between the classes."

"What do you mean?" Wang Xu was taken aback.

He felt that his deskmate had been acting mysteriously lately, both in his speech and actions. He didn't know where he went in the afternoon, but when he came back, he said that he had already contacted the wholesaler. He was very capable.

There were a few moments when he felt that Lin Chuan was like an adult, looking reliable and mature.

"You seem so mature," he said instinctively.

"You guys planned this all along, didn't you? You all have the same lines?" Lin Chuan was speechless. "You're the second person to say that today."

Wang Xu smiled awkwardly, casually turned his head to look around, and found a girl standing under a big tree not far away.

Students coming and going at the entrance of the playground were finishing their military training. Every boy who walked by would subconsciously glance at that girl and then secretly compare her to the girl in his mind. He would find that the girl completely outshone the prettiest girl in his class.

Then he lamented, "Why are the prettiest girls always from other classes?"

Most importantly, the girl seemed to be waiting for someone.

Is she waiting for some guy? That's so enviable.

"Old Lin, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something. You should go back first," Wang Xu said sensibly.

"Do you want me to wait for you?" Lin Chuan asked.

"No need, you can go first," Wang Xu said as he walked back. As he left, he glanced at his deskmate and sighed, "Damn it, I really envy you."

Lin Chuan was somewhat confused. He walked out of the playground and saw a girl standing at the gate. As he walked over, he seemed to feel many gazes, like lightning and light, which were somewhat dazzling.

"You're so slow," the girl said.

"Something came up," Lin Chuan said. "You're back now?"

"Um."

A few minutes later, the two walked along the school path, with streetlights and green grass on both sides. The lights were still on in the teaching building not far away, and the second and third grade students were still having evening study sessions. The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"I want to buy sunscreen," Chen Xiyu suddenly said.

"Do you use sunscreen?" Lin Chuan asked, because when he went into her room, there wasn't a single bottle of cosmetics or skincare products on the table. She was naturally beautiful, but a fifteen-year-old girl wouldn't use those kinds of things.

"I didn't need to before, but after being in the sun all day today, my face feels a bit darker," Chen Xiyu said. Although their class's military training location was under the shade of trees, it didn't mean they were completely protected from the sun; it was just a bit cooler than standing in the sun.

"It's gotten darker?" Lin Chuan subconsciously turned his head to look at the girl next to him.

Chen Xiyu stopped at this moment and leaned closer. "Has it gotten a little darker?"

As their faces drew closer under the streetlights, Lin Chuan could clearly see that the girl's skin was still fair and radiant, and her long eyelashes resembled the wings of a bird.

His final reply was simply, "It seems so."

Chen Xiyu pursed her lips, "Then come with me to buy sunscreen."

The No. 1 Middle School is located on the edge of the CBD area of ​​this small coastal city in the south, so there are shopping malls nearby, making it quite bustling.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, the buildings were brightly lit, and the shops were all on. From one end of the street to the other, there were office workers who had just finished get off work and students who had just finished school. The air was filled with the aroma of fruits and food.

Two young boys and girls walking side by side on the street always attract attention, and they are even more conspicuous when they are wearing military training uniforms.

"Where can I buy sunscreen?" Lin Chuan asked. In both his past and present lives, he was completely clueless about cosmetics, since he had never had a girlfriend and had no opportunity to learn about them.

"Of course, it's a store that sells sunscreen," Chen Xiyu said.

"You seemed to say something, but then again, you didn't say anything," Lin Chuan said.

Since he was already there, he didn't need to know much. His task was simply to follow Chen Xiyu in and out of various shopping malls. He didn't need to learn how to accompany girls shopping; he was born with it.

After browsing through a brand store that Lin Chuan didn't even know for a while, Chen Xiyu finally picked out a few exquisitely packaged jars and handed them to the clerk. Then she took out a credit card and paid for them. Throughout the whole process, she didn't seem to have even looked at the prices.

As they walked out of the store, Lin Chuan asked, "All done shopping?"

"Um."

"Did you go back?"

Chen Xiyu thought for a moment, "I just saw a pizza shop that's under renovation."

"And then?" Lin Chuan didn't quite understand what the other person meant.

"Then I want to eat pizza," Chen Xiyu said. "I know there's a pretty good pizza place not far away."

"So suddenly?" Lin Chuan said, "How about we eat tomorrow? We'll get scolded if we go back too late."

"I'm not afraid of getting back late, so what are you afraid of?" Chen Xiyu said.

Lin Chuan thought to himself, "Of course you're not afraid. He won't be criticized if he goes back late, but if he takes Chen Xiyu back late, his mother will nag him."

In addition, his mother's love for Chen Xiyu was absolutely genuine. Back in junior high school, when they weren't in the same school, his mother would ask him to pick her up from school "on the way" after school.

But how could his mother not know that when he and Chen Xiyu went to junior high school, their schools were several bus stops apart, so how could they be on the same route?

But because he had to pick her up from school, Lin Chuan never had the chance to sneak off to internet cafes or billiard halls with his classmates after school.

However, quite a few things have happened because of picking her up from school...

"I don't have any money for pizza right now, are you going to treat me?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I'll treat you," Chen Xiyu said, "since you came with me to buy things, okay?"

"Wow? So generous?"

"Let's go, let's go." Before Lin Chuan could answer, Chen Xiyu had already walked forward on her own and crossed the pedestrian crossing.

"Watch out for the cars, there are no traffic lights here," Lin Chuan reminded them as he followed.

The two ended up going to eat pizza. When Lin Chuan arrived, he realized that Chen Xiyu wasn't going to a small pizza shop, but a pizzeria, and a fairly well-known chain pizzeria in the city.

The owner didn't expect that two young "military officers" would arrive just before closing time.

Chen Xiyu didn't care whether she could finish it or not, and ordered a supreme pizza. After eating two slices, she said she had no appetite, leaving Lin Chuan to "fight" alone.

In addition, Lin Chuan didn't eat much for dinner. In the afternoon, he spent money to buy a bottle of water in order to get a good cigarette while running errands, so dinner was even simpler, consisting of only a serving of vegetables and rice.

Actually, he was already hungry during the evening military training. He wanted to go home early to find something to eat, but with this pizza, everything was solved.

Lin Chuan finished the last piece of pizza, then lay back in his chair with a satisfied expression.

Chen Xiyu, sitting across from him, rested her chin on her hands and looked at him. "Who said they weren't hungry when they came in? Eating so much?"

"Every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work; we can't waste it. Miss Chen, that kind of evil capitalist, would never understand," Lin Chuan said earnestly.

"You're the capitalist one. Watch out, I won't pay, and see what you do then."

"It's okay, I can just sell myself here to pay off my debts." Lin Chuan shrugged.

"With a figure like yours, what kind of body could you possibly sell?" Chen Xiyu looked him up and down.

"Why do you always look at me with worldly eyes? I meant I'd stay and wash the dishes," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Chen Xiyu snorted and got up to walk out.

"Hey, you're really not paying?" Lin Chuan got up and followed.

"What are you thinking? I've already paid," Chen Xiyu said.
